The movie ends.
When Michelle’s cousin finally answered my knock she was wearing a robe made out of quilts.
“Michelle had a robe like that,” I said.
She looked at me. I wanted her to invite me in, to offer me something to drink. She had moved to the City in spring and now it was summer and we hadn’t seen each other since the funeral.
I stood at the door waiting.
She told me she couldn’t let me in because she hadn’t fully unpacked or cleaned her house. “The dust,” she said. “The clutter.” As soon as she spoke, I knew why I was there—they had the same voice, deep and solid as tree bark.
I told her I didn’t mind dust or clutter, I would shut my eyes if she wanted me to, I would walk in backward, or she could blindfold me.
